According to a report by Taiwanese media "China Times" on the 8th, Huang Liming, director of National Taiwan University Children's Hospital, recently pointed out that the chance of BA.4 and BA.5 pandemics in Taiwan in July is small, and it will have to wait until at least mid-August. At present, Taiwan's epidemic prevention mainly relies on the community immunity firewall. Once the firewall weakens and BA.4 and BA.5 epidemics occur, the number of cases in a single day may return to more than 50,000. I dare not say whether it will be higher. . He suggested that the "command center" introduce next-generation vaccines as soon as possible. The "Command Center" stated on the 8th that Moderna's "next generation" vaccine is expected to be imported to Taiwan in October.
